I love this city, right?
It has a lot of potential energy.
But way back when, remember Tomas Regalado?
He was mayor and we passed the Miami Forever Bond.
And there were supposed to be all kinds of drainage projects and park improvement projects and public works projects and police station improvements.
And most of those haven't even gotten started.
So when you're dealing with
whether it's a commission and then also administration that is so distracted with all these lawsuits and all this other shenanigans, they're just not focused on the things that a city needs to become a world-class city.
And you know what people, you talk to people all the time.
I talk to people all the time.
The affordable housing crisis is real.
If you try to get a permit for anything, you wanna paint your front door, you can wait two years.
But certainly if you wanna build a new affordable housing development, between the time you get the approval from the commission, you get your permits, it's four years, you haven't even broken ground.
They can actually build it in two years, less time than the bureaucracy.
And so corruption ends up holding us back a lot from being the place we need to be for the residents that live here.
Listen, the county's Department of Environmental Regulatory Management, DERM, as most of us know them, they were the ones that went through and supervised all of the soil remediation, right?
Because you often have to do that on big sites, particularly golf courses, right?
Because they are so heavily...
used with pesticides and other things to keep them green.
They're overly green, thanks to chemicals.
